Did you know that Mahant Swami Maharaj is a wonderful storyteller? Indeed, he is! Today, he’ll tell us the story of the tortoise and the hare. But this isn’t the old tale of the tortoise and the hare you might have heard. This is the story of what happened after the race.

Through this captivating tale, Mahant Swami Maharaj tells us the value of steady persistence.

Dear Diary…

Journaling helps us organize our thoughts and retain information. Use the questions below as a guide to journal about the story Swamishri tells in this video:

1) Bhagwan Swaminarayan teaches in the Vachanamrut that steady persistence helps us win. He says a rope on the edge of a well rubs the well stone daily. Through such frequent contact, the soft rope cuts a notch in the hard stone. How were the tortoise’s efforts like the rope that Bhagwan describes?

2) What are your goals? And what measures can you take to become more consistent in working towards your goals?

3) How do you think the hare could have done better? What can you do to be more like the tortoise?
